Chua successful and highly educated
NOT much is known about the bachelor-businessman who was the last to see Ms Li Hong Yan alive in March.
Attempts to contact Mr Adrian Chua Boon Chye, the 39-year-old former owner of the plush Sentosa Cove bungalow where the Chinese national was found dead, drew a blank.
Those who knew him described him as successful, happy-go-lucky and friendly.
Mr Heng Lee Seng, for example, who provides corporate services to Mr Chua's real estate investment management firm Roundhill Capital, said the businessman always shows up at Mr Heng's HLS Corporate Services in Tanjong Pagar cheerful.
Mr Chua founded Roundhill Capital in 2001 and has been its chief executive since. The company has more than US$5 billion (S$6.5 billion) in investments in Asia.
He was also a director of food and beverage company Foodbex Global between 2001 and 2006.
From 1995 to 2001, he was a vice-president in the real estate arm of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation.
As a student, he attended Raffles Institution and the former Raffles Junior College, before he enrolled to study real estate at the University of California, Berkeley, where he co-founded and became president of the Credit Union for Berkeley Students in 1995.
He also has a master's in finance from the London Business School.
Mr Chua told the court yesterday that he now lives at Jalan Lim Tai See in Bukit Timah.
When The Straits Times checked out the four-storey, semi-detached house with a rooftop pool yesterday, its curtains were drawn and all seemed quiet.
The house belongs to his parents, Mr Andy Chua and Madam Sally Lim, who own a similar house next door.
Mr Chua's maid Aye Aye Tun, 26, was seen getting out of a black BMW and entering the house yesterday.
The Myanmar national also took the stand in court yesterday. She was the one who discovered Ms Li's body in the pool at the Sentosa Cove bungalow, which has since been sold.
Neighbours at Jalan Lim Tai See said they have hardly seen Mr Chua around. One of them said the businessman was often overseas and was last spotted at home last year.

STI 27 Dec 2010
Are Aw, 31, and Ang, 21, an item?
She is 31 and he is 21. Are MediaCorp actress Jeanette Aw and her former co-star Joshua Ang in an autumn-spring romance, as a friend of Ang's allegedly told a Chinese newspaper?
Lianhe Wanbao yesterday reported that Ang, who left MediaCorp this year to devote himself to his recycling business, has been dating Aw for a year.
Citing its unnamed source as someone who claimed to be a friend of Ang's, it said the former child star of I Not Stupid (2002) would spend $3,000 a month to take Aw to expensive restaurants.
Ang replied 'No' to each of the three questions a Wanbao reporter asked him: Were he and Aw dating? Do they play computer games together? Do they often dine secretly in the private dining room of the Equinox restaurant at Swissotel The Stamford?
Also quizzed by a reporter, Aw said: 'No way we can be in a May-December romance. We are good friends who get along well. I have always viewed him as a little brother and care for him.' She said they found that they got along well after co-starring in the drama New Beginnings, and so have become buddies who would dine together to chat.
